I would be a great caregiver because I'm alert at all given times , i move very quickly , i can see and hear very well (I learned that from my last job ) , and when my grandfather was living his last days i took care of him until he took his last breath . I made sure he was comfortable, fed him , changed his tubes , gave him his medicine and just sat with him . I want to become a caregiver because my personality fits the job , i have a kind heart and I'm a very patient woman especially with older people they just want kindness and gentleness and someone to talk to and i have all of these qualities. What i enjoy most about being a caregiver is listening to the stories i get told , and the smile on their faces while they are telling them .
